Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Make Sense of It - LP Zoo

What the colobus monkeys do 

When there shows up a pile of ice,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Is put there senses on precise.

First they eye the ice for a while,

And hear the ice crackle a bit,

And then they sniff at the ice pile,

And feel the chilliness of it,

And then of course they take a taste.

All in all, there is no doubt that

None of their senses go to waste

On the ice in their habitat.

Why there's an ice pile in July,

Thanks to the keepers - that is why.
